One problem you have with using these measures is that in the poorer wards parents have been leaving DCPS and moving their kids into PCS, while the WOTP wards have full schools, because they succeed. Parents in bad schools don't want to stay put, while parents in good ones do.  That leaves occupancy/vacancy-related skews on per-pupil space and spending.[/quote]
That does not disqualify the point, rather it makes the point.  Schools with stronger students are usually less expensive to run and usually more more sought after.[/quote]
